Nathan would be amused if the little show Dante had wasn't so annoying. Hadn't the fledgling learned anything from him? Nathan gazed at the Dante like he was trying to burn a hole through his head. With a firm but condescending tone, Nathan said "Armor has no place in this world Dante, you would be singled out and shot before you could even step on the grounds. Swords are to unwieldy for where we are going and there is no need to have crests and shows of badges. The humans know were we are, not who we are. If they did they would be able to take out all of our outside businesses." With a dismissive sideways glance Nathan concluded with "Besides, you are still a fledgling. Your powers haven't fully surfaced yet, if at all a crueler leader would have just used you for cannon fodder." 

Ignoring Dante for now, Nathan dismissed himself from the group and went to his room. While there he used his speed to get what he needed, gloves, balaclava, sunglasses, paint, bullet insurance, and finally his trusty gun, a desert eagle by the name of Rosa and all of it in lovely summer colors that just so happen to match the landscape. As he put his gear on Nathan took a second to look at his old dog tags, not the real ones that Heinrich said were destroyed but the ones he was given as a gift from Kathrine. With a little sigh, Nathan put them on underneath his shirt then pulled the bullet proof vest, had to stay with the times. 

Within a minute Nathan had put on enough gear that would take at least five for a human, satisfied with his time Nathan ran back down stairs, ready for whatever he had to do but not before sharing a word with Riley. Looking her in the eyes, Nathan said "I'm sorry for the mess but the fledgling was going to jeopardize everything. If I didn't make an example than others may have tried to join in and the truce would have been for nothing." With a solemn look Nathan concluded with "I did what had to be done." Nathan didn't want to do it, but for the good of the coven he would do anything. Just like a good soldier.
